Tim recalls being a stoned, coked-out Bush supporter arguing politics with strangers at bus stops and on buses during the 2004 election, contrasted with how political zealotry just shifts targets over time.
- Tim went to church until age thirty, then stopped when he started doing stand-up and found weed at thirty-two.
- Kevin didn't smoke weed until age forty-six, then started fighting with church friends who also smoked.
- Tim never got into camping the way people used to, but wasted psychedelics extensively.
- On acid at a high-end hotel on Long Island, Tim lectured a guy about people in Rockville Center not having money.
- Tim doubled down on materialism while on acid, trying to sell aliens timeshares and capitalism.
- During his second mushroom trip camping in a canyon, it flooded and Tim took his shirt off running around telling friends everything would be fine.
- Tim dug a channel from their campsite into the river on shrooms and told his panicking friends it all works out.
- Uncle Steve took Tim and cousin Brendan camping for forty-eight hours of rain while listening to NPR ranting about war criminals instead of making toasted marshmallows.
- Uncle Steve at Christmas makes dark jokes about unrest and blood on the door while saying Merry Christmas.
- Tim's dark sense of humor comes from knowing dark people and living a real life.
